Runners
Runners determine where assessment traffic originates.
Cloud execution
Cloud execution is the default path for public internet-facing targets. It is not the path for scanning private or reserved network ranges.
Private runners
A private runner is deployed inside your environment and attached to a scope. Use it for internal subnets, private apps, VPN-only systems, staging environments, and machine pentesting.
